My Life With The Sopranos.
After visiting the Sopranos for so many months and experiencing the ups and downs of Tony.s life,the mob feuds , his relationships with Dr Melfi, his wife Carmela and his children Meadow and AJ I finally reached the sixth and last series.This is a long series of 21 episodes effectively a long goodbye.It begins with Tony in a coma after being shot by his uncle from which he recovers. However this in the end turns out to be only a reprieve and the series eventually proceeds to a doom laden finale .The final four episodes can in fact be watched in one sitting as a single movie.The keynote episode is Heidi And Kennedy named after the two schoolgirl drivers who only appear for a minute after causing a near fatal crash to Tony and his nephew Christopher.The resulting death of Christopher is a shocking as it is surprising.From then on Tony's world starts to unravel with the war between himself and his archenemy Phil Leotardo.This leaves Tony without his right hand man Silvio Dante and only Pauli Galtieri left from the original core of his gang from Series 1.The final episode Made In America is literally that. The death of Phil appears to have returned Tony to a secure future only to have him find one of his key men is in the hands of the FBI giving evidence against him to a grand jury.The final scene in the diner with Tony ,Carmela.AJ and Meadow we can presume ends with the death of Tony. The screen suddenly turns black at the end of the episode and it is certain that Tony has just been shot by a gunman who entered the diner at the same time as his son AJ.
